Accepting a New Booking Request

How to confirm a 'pending' booking or batch of bookings

This article is for Hosts who need to review and accept incoming booking requests.

When a Customer submits a booking request, SpacetoCo sends you an email notification. You do not need to stay logged into your account to monitor for requests, and SpacetoCo will send reminders if a request remains pending. Booking requests expire after 6 days if not actioned.

How to Review and Accept Pending Bookings

  • Access your pending bookings
    Open pending bookings through any of the following methods:

    • Click Review Booking at the bottom of your booking request email.
    • Go directly to your Pending Bookings dashboard
    • Navigate to Pending Bookings from your main Host dashboard.
  • Approve or decline the request
    Review the request details. If you need more information before deciding, send the Hirer a message through SpacetoCo Messages. Select Approve or Decline.

What Happens When You Approve a Booking

When you approve a request, SpacetoCo automatically:

  • Notifies the Hirer that their booking is approved
  • Charges the payment card on file
  • Generates a tax invoice/receipt on your behalf
  • Blocks out calendar availability for the Space
  • Finalises the Guest Booking Fee (if applicable)

What Happens When You Decline a Booking

When you decline a request, SpacetoCo automatically:

  • Notifies the Hirer that their booking was declined, including the reason provided
  • Releases any temporary hold on the Hirer's payment card

Note: Bookings require manual review unless you have enabled Instant Book on your Space. Learn more about what Instant Book is.
